As a licensed acupuncturist I received my Master’s degree from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, San Diego.

I strongly support the integration of Eastern and Western medicine and am committed to helping my patients reach their utmost potential in physical, mental and spiritual health.

I have been in the health field for over 35 years.A Practicing Acupuncturist for 28 years in Encinitas. The high level of success and satisfaction I have had in the last 18 years practicing Classical 5 element Acupuncture has re-inspired my practice. Fertility Acupuncture is one of my top specialties , as well as Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Combining these two modalities gives me more treatment options. I have added FUNCTIONAL BLOOD CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS to pinpoint undiagnosed thyroid issues and to help support brain health.

Acupuncture in La Quinta - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. La Quinta acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.

Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.

'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
